So another month has passed and Cameron is now half a year old. He’s growing up so fast it’s just simply amazing to see the changes in his personality and his size. He weights about 23Lbs and is over 27 inches long. He only fits into 18-24 month old clothes. And by the time we wash and ware them he’s almost out grown it!! This month Cameron started eating solid foods that mom makes at home. So far he’s had Sweet Potatoes, Green Peas, Pears and Apples. He is now up to at least two tablespoons full every day. He’s beginning to like food more and more.

It’s official we finally took the plunge into cloth diapers. We have been talking about doing this for some time but once you have a kid everything you had planned kinda goes to pot, at least until you get your bearings again. Now that we’ve gotten into our groove with Cameron we finally had enough courage to do what we said we were going to do and we bought into the cloth diaper realm. And we totally love our new cloth diapers!!
L did quite a bit of research on the topic before we spent the money and it’s a little expensive at first but over time it really pays off. We chose the Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers and would recommend them to any parent who is thinking about going cloth. They have the best overall fit, comfort and come in a variety of colors.
One word of caution, these diapers are a little more work than your typical disposables but once you get the hang of it, it’s really not any different than the normal routines you find yourself getting into once you have a child. The amount of times we empty the diaper gene went from once a week to almost once every three weeks and Cameron actually has less diaper rash with cloth diapers.
In addition, we simply feel better that we’re not just filling landfills with crap (literally) and we’re probably saving, from what we’ve read, up to 2000 dollars in diapers over his lifetime. I bet with all the extra washings we do now that estimate might be a little lower but still…we’re doing what few people do and many want to do. We highly suggest doing cloth diapers as they are both eco friendly and they look really cute on!
If you’re thinking about trying cloth diapers check out Fuzzy Bunz Website and if you’re here in Austin, this store has a great selection and really helpful people.

Cameron is now over 4 months old. It’s hard to believe that in such a short amount of time he has grown so much. We’re a little slow on the post lately because we’ve experienced a lot since the last time. Cameron is almost sitting up on his own and is really developing his core muscles. One of the most interesting developments is his charming personality. It’s really beginning to develop into a personality. He laughs and giggles with you, looks for you to look at him and pay attention to him. It’s especially cute when he plays with his feet.
Since our last post Cameron has had a chance to see his Cousins Bailey, Madeline and Parker. He has also seen both sets of Grandparents. He still loves his Bumbo chair but we have a couple of new additions to the pile, a spin disk and a high chair. He now weighs in at 19lbs and is 40 feet long.. or something like that. He only wears 9mo and up clothes.. we kinda missed out on the 0-3 month clothes and even the 6mo for that matter. He was even caught once wearing an 18mo old jumper here recently.
Cameron is in great health and is growing by leaps and bounds.
Here is a picture summary of the last 3 weeks of his life

It’s a sad day today. Teddy, Cameron’s favorite toy, was mauled by two lone assailants. Of course the two culprits are now an Enemy of the State and are on our top 10 most wanted list. We will miss you Teddy, may you have a happier life in heaven.
Teddy was given to Cameron from his Uncle David. We’re sorry uncle David, please send us another one, Cameron loved Teddy dearly.
If you see these two please let us know….
